Quotes

Sociology is a hoot. these are some funny quotes from the reading that i should be doing but stopped to write this blog because it was too funny to continue without telling anyone.

"Upon first meeting Adam Smith, a female French novalist described him as harsh in speech, big in teeth and "ugly as the devil".

"cerebral hygiene: preventing others from polluting your thoughts"

The Postal Service

I wanted to walk through the empty streets
and feel something constant under my feet
But all the news reports recommended that I stay indoors
because the air outside will make our cells
divide at an alarming rate until our shells
simply cannot hold all our insides in,
and that's when we'll explode
(and it won't be a pretty sight)

delight in contrast

I'm so incredibly excited! i had an awesome first day of school.i also jump-roped and allison joined me...we are great. i am also a champion air hockey player. and now i was just on the Chain Reaction website and i saw that Mae is playing there on Feb 23rd and that Limbeck is playing there on March 6th!!! and they are both under $15. SUPER. this is going to be the awesomest semester!!! i am taking awesome classes, going to awesome concerts and i'm going to visit the bf in Texas. yay! the end.

First day of school

my first class today was lovely. it was sociology. this is the biggest class i've had since i've starting going to ULV, there were 35 people. no familiar faces. but i will be sure to make some roudy friends. i amso found out -to my delight-that we are not having a final. the teacher is awesome. anad the beset part is that the chairs are those soft cushiony kind that you can twirl and lean back on. it will be the mose pleasurable 50 minutes of my life three times a week. i'm excited, i think i'm finaly going to start college this semester. i've had very easy classes since i started here and it seems as though i have not had to work hard. i will do my very best in all of my classes. i find that when i am the most under pressure, i perform better. this semester will be the test of that. well, with nothing to do i believe that i will start my reading for my wed soc class (wow, i feel so cool saying that i have hw), i have to read from 3 books, very exciting.

The definition of greatness

so i was reading my friends' blog and she was writing about her experience on The Price is Right and i remembered that i had not commented on MINE (seperate occasion, i went this past Monday). therefore i will do so now. it was a glorious day... a day that i only slept for 3 hours becuase i had made the intelligent choice to go to bed at 1 am knowing that i was to wake up at 4. silly me. we got to the CBS station at 0600 hours, the sun was no where to be seen. i was cold, hungry and well, that's it, no wait..i was sleepy. (sleepy is such a whimpy word). anyways, to make long story short ,we didnt win anything, spent way more money on a single bagle than anyone ever should and definitely had fun learning that these chicks in the audience thought that Bob Barker was a tight homeboy. we plan on getting a large group to go this summer, so if you're interested, let me know. they say that if you get a group of 25 or more, one of you is guaranteed to get chosen. so, let's go! my show airs the 25th of February. watch it.

Life is Good

(sigh) Everything is great! i just had the funnest time with some people that i hadnt seen in a while and it just makes me appreciate how awesome God is to me. he gives me all these great friendships and love from people and all i have to do is be myself and love Him. it's super. the only thing i would ask of Him is to not have my Nick be so far away and to also give me the strenghth to tell my parents that i am now a Christian. but i am so glad that most of my friends are Christians and i know that i have their support and prayers. i am so lucky. (hey, it's 1:23!!!) . spring semester starts on monday. i have to admit that i am looking forward to being busy. it keeps my mind off of certain things. and it also makes the time go by faster. i miss my baby.

Look at this stud...yummy.
